Although it has been nearly 50 years since its first description of clinical and radiological, there is considerable uncertainty about the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus because it shares the semiotics with the group of dementias. Hakim’s triad (impaired gait, initially type clumsiness of the lower limbs followed over time by inability to ...

The Neurologist, 1999
Doctors find the management of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) difficult because their diagnosis often is uncertain and the treatment with shunt surgery carries a significant risk. With the aim of bringing to the attention of physicians the useful, but largely anecdotal, information available regarding this problem, this article discusses the ...

Idiopathic Normal-Pressure Hydrocephalus
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2006Object. The diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) remains controversial, particularly in selecting patients for shunt insertion. The use of clinical criteria coupled with imaging studies has limited effectiveness in predicting shunt success. The goal of this prospective study was to assess the usefulness of clinical

Syphilitic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1979We report a case of presenile dementia with radiological and cisternographical features suggesting normal pressure hydrocephalus, caused by syphilitic infection. Treatment with penicillin resulted in considerable regression of the neurological and psychological signs.

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1987
The pathological changes in the brains of seven patients who had been clinically diagnosed as normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) are described and the possible etiological mechanisms are discussed. The pathological findings in all cases consisted of demyelination akin to Binswanger's type of encephalopathy, especially in the frontal lobes ...

A Randomized Trial of Shunting for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
New England Journal of MedicineBackground: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a neurologic disorder of impaired gait, balance, cognition, and bladder control in older adults that is treated with shunt surgery.

Contemporary Neurosurgery, 2005
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) or, more precisely, chronic adult hydrocephalus, is a complex condition. Even if the basic mechanism is found in an impediment to CSF absorption, the underlying pathology is heterogeneous. In secondary NPH, the disruption of normal CSF pathways, following meningitis or sub-arachnoid haemorrhage, is responsible for ...

Disease-a-Month, 2010
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is increasingly recognized as a treatable cause of gait disturbance, cognitive decline, and urinary incontinence in the aging population. The impact of treatment on both improved quality of life and decreased need for institutional care is potentially very great, and will only increase as the population ages.
